HEALTH IS WEALTH Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely absence of disease or infirmity. Health has become the life blood of the economy of a country.

HEALTH IS WEALTH O health! Health! The blessing of the rich! the riches of the poor! Who can buy thee at too dear a rate, since there is enjoying this world without thee? — Ben Jonson The same idea has been imbibed in a Sanskrit saying ‘Sharir madhyam khalu dharma sadhayet’ i.e., all duties can be performed only through a healthy body. The worldly wealth is not a constant and permanent factor. It may be your companion today.

Our diet should be simple and wholesome. Green vegetables, milk and well cooked food should be consumed. Spices, fats and heavy food should be avoided as far as possible. Physical exercise is also very important. We could have a good appetite if we get accustomed to exercises. Sometimes a long walk early morning is sufficient. Students should take part in sports and games. A grown up man may keep himself fit by means of exercises of his choice and taste. Thus our body... read more
